The program
The Local Visibility System
In short
The Local Visibility System combines technical SEO, local SEO, structured content, entity optimization, original authority signals and ongoing AI visibility measurement. It runs in six stages, from a fast site foundation through to a monthly report that grades every commitment we made.
[ 01 ]Six stages
How the engine runs
Each stage produces something you can check, and each one links to the deeper page behind it.
01
Foundation
A fast, server-rendered site that a person and a crawler both read in one pass.
Design and build or rebuild, mobile first, with above-the-fold text and JSON-LD present in the raw HTML, images sized and lazy-loaded, and layout shift held at zero. Everything after this stage sits on top of it, so we do not skip it.
Web design and build →02
Entity
One unambiguous business identity everywhere a search or AI system might check.
Name, address, phone, categories and service area reconciled across the site, the schema graph, Google Business Profile, Yelp and the directories that matter in your industry. Organization, LocalBusiness, Service and Person nodes linked by @id.
Local signals we correct →03
Authority
Third-party corroboration on the sources your category's engines already read.
Category-appropriate citations, review volume and recency, and legitimate mentions. Which sources count is industry-specific: Houzz for builders, review platforms and the BBB for lenders, outdoor directories for specialty retail.
The GEO signal set →04
Answerability
Pages an engine can lift a correct answer from without guessing.
Question-form headings, direct answers in the first 40 to 80 words, definitions before detail, tables where numbers are involved, and FAQ content only where the questions are real.
Answer Engine Optimization →05
Distribution
Your information present and consistent wherever engines go looking for it.
Google Business Profile kept current with services, photos, posts and Q and A, Yelp and vertical directories maintained, AI crawler access confirmed in robots.txt, and llms.txt kept in sync with the site.
What is included each month →06
Measurement
A monthly report that grades what we committed to, in plain language.
A fixed prompt set run repeatedly across 5 AI search experiences, rolled into the AI Visibility Score with its date range, prompt count, geography and methodology version, alongside map pack activity, site performance and real business outcomes.

How the engagement works
What is The Local Visibility System?
It is MxdifyLocal's named program for getting a local business found across classic Google results, the map pack alongside Yelp and directories, and AI answer engines. It runs in six stages: foundation, entity, authority, answerability, distribution and measurement.
Do I have to run all six stages?
No, but the order matters. Authority and answerability work poorly on a slow site with inconsistent business data, so we usually start at foundation and entity. If your site is already fast and your profiles are clean, we can begin further along and say so.
What does the monthly report include?
Your AI Visibility Score with its full measurement context, the sub-metrics behind it, map pack and profile activity, site performance, and every commitment from the previous month graded met, partly met or missed. Numbers that moved the wrong way stay in the report.
Is this different from the Local Visibility System?
It is the program we run for every client, named The Local Visibility System, and the six stages map onto the same components we have always run.
- AI Search Optimization
The discipline the engine is built around.
- AI Visibility Score methodology
How the headline number is calculated and reported.
- Measured results
What the engine has produced for real clients, with limitations stated.
- Pricing
Published ranges by project type rather than a quote form.
